Is a Plesk VPS Right for Me?

Here at HostPresto we offer a wide range of VPS solutions from managed to unmanaged, from Windows to Linux and from Plesk to DirectAdmin to cPanel. We cover it all. In terms of what’s right for you, it’s really down to your preference of web hosting control panel. If you’re familiar with Plesk, it makes sense to use Plesk.

Which is better, Linux or Windows?

This is a tough one to answer as each operating system comes with its own, often vast range of pros and cons. Typically, like with the web hosting control panel, it comes down to a matter of preference. If you’re familiar with windows VPS hosting or build ASP.NET applications for example, you’re going to be more comfortable in a Windows environment.

"You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for Enix (HostPresto) to start offering their cloud VPS servers on a Windows platform instead of Linux. Thankfully as of last month they have finally got their act together and started catering for both operating systems and platforms. If you’re looking for a highly reliable windows VPS hosting solution, you won’t go far wrong with HostPresto.com."

Great for my ASP customers!

"I run a reseller hosting business and most of my clients are ASP developers who require windows hosting for their various configuration options. I took out a Plesk VPS option with HostPresto as 1) It caters to my needs and 2) I simply prefer it to WHM/cPanel. So far, the service has been excellent with no downtime so long may it continue."

Lucas Higgins

They know their stuff!

"When it comes to reseller hosting I consider myself a bit of an expert. I’ve run various businesses over the years offering both windows hosting with Plesk and Linux hosting too via WHM. So I feel like I know my stuff. Thankfully now, I’m partnered with HP, a company who also know their stuff and that my friends makes my life a whole lot easier!"
